Big 12 meetings primer: Sources say anywhere from 6-8 Big 12 schools back expansion, but one problem persists

The Big 12 will continue to discuss big issues at its meetings this week.

Just don't expect any major decisions on expansion, a football title game and a conference TV network by the time the Big 12's presidents adjourn Friday in Las Colinas. Still, the tantalizing possibility of anything definitive has resulted in about 35 media credentials, including interest from potential expansion outposts like Memphis, Cincinnati, Orlando (Central Florida) and Salt Lake City (near BYU).

"I really don't expect we'll make any decisions at the spring meetings but that's up to our presidents and chancellors," commissioner Bob Bowlsby said during an interview last week.
